guides D1 irrespective oi' their kthickness, and rl'nrther that becauseof this construction, it will not be necessary as hitherto to alter therelative Width of the entrance channels for differ-ent fonts, as thematrix cars will always be engaged and guided into correct relation tothe magazine.

Although l have illustrated and described my invention in )referredforni and hy Way of example, it will be obvious that other equivalentand diiilerently located forms ot' guides may he similarly employed,Whether connected to the partitions or otherwise, the essential objectof my invention being to feet the proper guidance of the matrices intothe magazine channels 'irrespective of their style or thiclrness, andeven in some instances irrespective of the correct registration of theentrance channels with those of the magazines. These and many othermodifications of my invention will suggest themselves to those skilledin the art and still he comprised Within its scope.

Having thusdescrihed my invention, s construction and mode or'ope-ration, what l claim and desire to secure by Letters latent o theUnited States is as follows:

l. ln a typographical machine comprising matrices formed with guidingportions of substantially uniform thickness in all the matrices, thecombination Wit-h a channeled magazine, and a matrix delivery entrancetherefor, having aseries oichannels,

one for each channel oli' the magazine, thesaid entrance channels beingformed to engage the guiding portions of the matrices and thus dischargethem in the sainelrelationto the magazine channels irrespective oi'their relative thicknesses. i

2. In a typographical machine, the comhination with a magazine and achanneled matrix-delivery entrance therefor `raving a series ot'channels, one for each channel ol: the magazine, the said entrance heingpro vided With guiding means located within the channels to engage onlythe ears ci' the matrices so as to insure their proper de livery intothe magazine channels.

ln a typographical machine comprising matrices 'formed with guidingportions of substantially uniform lthickness in all the matrices, thecon'ihination with a channeled magazine and a matrix delivery entrancetherefor provided with a series ci partitions dividing the saine intochannels to receive matrices of different thicknesses, the saidpartitions being Aforlned Kwith supplemental guiding surfaces, whichirrespective of their relative thicknesses coperatc with the guidingportions nit the matrices and direct them from the entrance channels inthe saine relation to the magazine channels.

4. In a typographical machine, the combination With a channeled magazineand a matrix delivery entrance therefor provided messes with a series ofpartitions dividing the into channels, the said partitions being formedwith projecting surfaces which en gage only the ears of the matrices tognide them in their passage through the entrance chaimeis into themagazine channels ln a typographical machine compris in g matricesformed with gnidin portie-ns ot less thickness than that of te matrixbody, the comhination with a Clianneleri magazine and a. channeledmatrix-delivery entrance therefor, the said entrance being provided withtransverse deliecting shoulders located within the channels near thelower ends thereoi2 to cooperate with the matrix guiding portions so asto deflect the matrices in their passage through the entrance channelsand to insure their proper delivery into the magazine channels,V

(3. ln a typographical machine comprising matrices formed with'projecting ears, the combination of a channeled magazine and amatrixdelivery entrance therefor, the said entrance being provided witha series ci partitions dividing the same into channels, and the saidpartitions being formed at their lower ends with bent-over portionsextending transversely across the channels to en 0'affe only the matrixears so as to serve guiding means tor the matrices passingtheretl'irougln 7. ln tyncgraplncal machine comprising l with projectingcars, the

matrices ornefl combination with a channeled magazine and ainati.ix-deliveiy entrance therelor, the said entrance being providedVith a series of partitions dividing the same into channels, and thesaid partitions heing formed at the lower ends with inclined shoi'ildersprojecting into vthe channels to engage only the matrix ears so as todeflect the matrices in their passa ge therethrough and insure their.proper dilivery into the magazine channels.

S. ln i typographical machine com arising matrices formed withprojecting ears of less thickness than that of the matrix hody, thecombination ot magazine formed with a series of sets of opposing groovestcreceive the matrix ears. and a matrix delivery entrance therefor laving a series of channels, one for each set of grooves in the magazine,the said entrance channels heing provided with guiding m ans to engageonly7 the matrix ears so as to'direct the matrices primer-ly into themagazine grooves irrespective of their body thickness.
